It's mechanical. Get some Graphite powder to lubricate it.
 
Spray some electrical contact cleaner in there and wiggle the key about a bit let dry then some graphite powder as Datatek mentioned and jobs a goodun.:)

do not use wd40 as a lot do it gums it up
 
Hi again ,steering locks working again (in a fashon) If when i take the key out the middle metal bit supposed to pop out ,and the lock goes on ,mine sticks ,but if i push it wi me finger ,out it pops :eek::D..gave it a good spray wi contact cleaner ,now just waiting for graphite dry oil stuff to turn up ...so if yer locks sticking ,poke it wi yer finger,:rolleyes:,,cheers ...RR
 
Mine did the same as yours, and used the finger trick, I was told to use graphite, about 3 years ago, its been fine since
